[See NewsBusters for more.] David Muir and the journalists at Good Morning America were thrilled over Cuba’s “day of history,” hyping an exclusive interview with Barack Obama. Yet, the same network spent just a scant ten seconds on the arrest of more than 50 dissidents hours before the President arrived. After Obama brought up the fact that “we still have significant differences around human rights and individual liberties inside of Cuba,” Muir meekly wondered, “What are you looking for for proof that there’s been progress?” That was it. No follow-up. The only specific mention of the latest abuse came when co-host Robin Roberts noted, “[Obama will] l meet with Raul Castro later this morning as the country faces protests over human rights. Dozens arrested just hours before President Obama landed on Sunday.”
